The latest belle-ringers…

Time to get frozen.

Best entertaining idea ever!!

While we are at it…let’s up our entertaining game. Can’t wait to do this! 

And dying to try what we agree might be the perfect appetizer.

This dip would also delight .

How about this as a hostess dress?

Or this little number?

And Siri might just be a belle..
Cheers!!!

Let’s beat that humidity shall we?? Cheers!!

Did you know these fun facts?? Neither did we! 

We loooove the idea of a lazy belle’s chicken salad…best way to beat the heat is to stay out of the kitchen!!

These are so cool, we don’t mind the heat…

Belles…honesty is the best policy…finally bottles that can do the truth-telling for us…

And because it is important to stay hydrated and keep things cool…a nifty trick to keep those big batch cocktails!

Stay cool belles …

accessories, BLO Vintage, jewelry, necklaces, Taz Greenville, whistle

While out-n-about and on the job (aka…shopping) the other day, we ran across an über-cool line of accessories that we simply MUST share!  We love to see a little somethin’ new and different, and thought these were just a kick!  

At Taz “on the Plaz” in Greenville, we found these awesome necklaces using vintage (and totally functional) whistles!  

 

Combining style, history and safety (a belle needs to protect herself sometimes), these stunners from BLO Vintage will blow your socks off!!

With so many options (they have bracelets, too) we belles can always be ready for what comes at us…”every breath counts”

And speaking of “every breath counts”…BLO Vintage is very active in its support of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, working to help those who battle CF and doing its part to help find a cure. 

Now that’s worth whistlin’ about, belles!!  You DO know how to whistle, don’t you??

Hola belles! Need a cool refreshment….?

The website y’all need to know about to get the real scoop.

We love livin’ on the fringe.

We think very belle needs at least one of these!

We have burgers on the brain…you will too after you take a gander here, here and here!  If you need a great recipe for pimiento cheese, may we humbly suggest one from a previous post…click here…from guru of all things southern,  James Farmer?

For a radiant summer glow…try this. 

And there you have the belle-ringers of the week!  Ring-a-ling!

We are at it again!! Belles are ringin’ all over the place!

An Ice cream that answers all our prayers!!

What does the wine you choose to drink say about you??

Because we are grown ups and it’s hot as blazes out there!

This because we love making a statement…

We think we all need to get in touch with our inner mermaid.

A great idea for a hostess gift.

Let’s kick up our heels !
Cheers !

A cucumber cocktail???  Well, don’t mind if we do !!

Since grilling season is here to stay for a spell, we love this new way to tell if your steak is done. 

We think summer sleepwear is imperative. We adore these and this for those hot summer nights.

Do y’all attract bugs as much as we do?? We are dying to try this.  A bug repellant and a perfume in one?!? Count us in!!

When it’s this hot out, no belle wants to sweat in the kitchen…here’s an easy dinner that will delight the tastebuds and still let you enjoy summer.

If you like a BLT, then you’re sure to like this dip.

And a fun little etiquette reminder…belles don’t like to offend…just sayin!!
Enjoy!

beauty, beautyhigh.com, organization, stain removal, tips and tricks, whowhat wear.com

Ahhh those hot summer nights….and days…and mornings! Sometimes a belle feels like she might just melt! So….before you melt completely this holiday weekend, check this list of hacks from the beauty high blog.

What a brilliant list of pertinent and helpful ideas to keep us belles looking pulled together and fresh-as-a-daisy. Some are great reminders, but plenty are tips we’d never heard. So read on and keep cool…inside and out!!

20140630-200636-72396222.jpg

Go to beautyhigh.com

Not to be outdone, and certainly no less useful (especially for us messier belles) is a list of hacks …a veritable wealth of information…frankly a mass of miracles…to solve all of our stain dilemmas. Thank you whowhatwear.com, a blog that we love to check regularly with for all sorts of tips, tricks and advice for the fashionable, au courant belle.

20140630-203650-74210620.jpgAt whowhatwear.com

And because whowhatwear.com has been on another level lately with their helpful tips, we had to give them another shout out and share their organizational tips. We can never be too informed on this matter and they have come up with some ideas so simple and plentiful that you’ll want to drop everything (in a tidy pile of course) and get to organizing.

So there are a few tips and tricks that we are sure to use and we sure hope by sharing that y’all will make use of them too. Here’s to a beautiful, clean, and well organized summah and beyond.

Did you know that when it comes to sun protection, your lips need attention, too?  Try some of our favorites here, here and here.

On the subject of beauty, we have found the fountain of youth…and we both use it religiously. Our skin feels and looks better and no breakouts! Get your share of this miracle oil ASAP!!

And, of course, belles love a great accessory!  We own this in coral, and it’s perfect on its own or layered.

We feel like we are pretty experienced travelers…apparently not!  We didn’t know jam was a liquid…and a few other things you might need to know before y’all get on your next flight….

An amazing appetizer…perfect for summer! 

And since you’re making appetizers, why not make a big batch of this refreshing number?  Can’t have anyone going thirsty!

And every good cocktail deserves a good cocktail ring. Or two if y’all are double-fisting!!

Cheers…
